Sony T2 vs. T70 The Sony T2 came out today with 4GB of internal storage. One could also buy a T70 with an add on 4GB card for about the same price, ~$350. Does anyone see any advantages to one over the other? The T2 seems to be a bit bigger in size. Sony T2 vs. T70 The Sony T2 came out today with 4GB of internal storage.

Bought the export version of this camera in Japan back in November. This camera is magnificent in almost every way except the most important one...it takes ridiculously horrible photos. They looked look something you might expect in the 3MP range or a cell phone. Anyway, I exchanged it thinking I might have gotten a lemon, but the replacement was the same. I recommend you avoid the T2 and Sony all together...they ought to be embarassed to have this product on the market.

I've owned three Sony Cyber Shot ultra-compact digital cameras and have had excellent luck, a T1, T7 and currently a T200. Sorry, you are having bad luck with the T2, I will make note. I ended up going with a T20 and an add on 4GB memory card as an Xmas present for my girlfriend, which ended up being about a $100 cheaper in the end, and the cameras have very similar internal specifications.

Well haven't been able to really test the T20 much yet, since it is her Xmas present. I'll let you know in about a weeks time...

t70 has a bigger screen and the zoom buttons are more intuative, but the t2 seems easier on the eyes because it seems less severe.

my t400 came with a 160 gb hard drive which is one of the stock hard drive sizes originally available . it is probably a typo

I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there. So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

About the only reason for MOST PEOPLE to get more than a 2 GB SD card is because they intend to take movie clips. It would take an awful lot of still photos to fill up a 2 GB card! If you intend to take a lot of movies, go for a larger card.With any of these cameras, if you intend to take long movie clips, use either a high speed SD card or a fast SDHD card. I have to be honest. I am somewhat ignorant of the real world speeds of the SDHD cards, compared to the high speed SD cards, though there are websites that do comparisons of such things.

I think the 2GB version came out before and has been out longer than the 4GB version, so many people bought it before they had the chance to even decide to by the 4GB.

Sam,We had a Sony for a few months then the kid lost it. We've had a Canon for two years, and during that time it went back to Canon twice for warranty service, for the same problem. When I wanted to upgrade, I bought a Sony DSC-N2. From the looks of things, it will even be almost as versatile as my 35mm Exakta SLR film camera. If you really want a slim camera, there are even slimmer Sony's than the DSC-N2, such as the DSC T10, that are comparable with the Canon for pixels.

It's my understanding the newer cards are faster, and can "write" the information quicker, which makes waiting time between shots shorter. Also, the older cards may not be able to write video fast enough, so if you use your camera for video the newer, faster cards are better. When comparing cards with the same GB storage capacity, and you don't need the extra speed, such as shooting in bursts, video, etc. then the older cards are fine, and save some money.

The fs10 costs more than the fs100 because it comes with 8 gigabytes of memory integrated, meaning, the 8 gig is inside the camera. This camera also has an SDHC slot, where you can fit a 4 , 8, 16, gigabyte size SDHC card. Make sure the "class" is 2 or higher, as that is what is required by the camera.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

The HD video quality is better on the T2i than the T1i but you don't intend to buy this camera for video recording do you? Other than that, there is a minimal difference.

The T2i body only version also is not in stock at B&H; Photo, Adorama and Best Buy. It is not even available on the Canon Web site. I've been thinking of biting the financial bullet and buying a 7d instead.

Neither have an external memory slot. But in my Garmin, that was not much of an extra. Even using a Sandisk Ultra II card (15mb/s), my GPS became horribly slow trying to access it.Not worth it to have an external SD memory slot, IMO.Yes, the prices are all over the place. The best I've seen is when Amazon was selling (not Beach Cameras on Amazon, for example) the XXL 540TM for $129 last week. They're out right now, so the price is up, but they'll get more in stock eventually.... ugh. Worse & worse. I just noticed that Amazon got the 540TM in stock, but now it's $199.99! ... Oh, that's the WTE (World Traveler Edition that 4GB and maps or Europe included. The regular 540TM is $169. Neither have an external memory slot. But in my Garmin, that was not much of an extra.

I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it. If you don't see yourself taking any video, then the T700 is more feature rich. But, if you'll use the video feature the T500 is significantly better. The T500's HD video in decent lighting is impressive for such a small camera. The T500 screen resolution may not be as good as the T700, but I've found it more than acceptable. A friend of mine has a camera with "Smile Shutter" and he says he never uses it, more of a hassle then it's worth. I could see if you had kids who are reluctant to smile, it might be a nice feature. -Good Luck I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it.

$100 more bucks for an extra 28~gigs? ouch. might as well just buy the 32gb edition and then pick up a Sandisk 128gb SD card that comes out soon (yes, it's compatible) and get more for your money. just my opinion though!

I bought the 32gb over the 64gb for only one reason a $100.00 savings. I carry 3days worth of music and around 8 hours of video.not to mention all the apps. for me the 32gb was the right decision. Brian

This shouldn't be a deal breaker. If you've got a T5 screwdriver and the tiniest amount of tech savviness, you can buy an 8GB stick online for cheap, and replace the 2GB stick it comes with (the other 2 of the 4 are onboard). This sets you up to 10GB with almost no cost.
